Signs of rats or mice in a Morehead City home

Droppings that look like small black pellets, near food or water
Scratching or scuttling noises at night, often in the attic
Bite or scratch marks on food packages and containers
Greasy, dirty-looking trails along walls and under counter ledges
A pet that keeps sniffing or scratching at one spot

You may never see the rodent itself. Droppings can carry disease, so clean them up carefully.

How we treat rodents in Morehead City

Every job starts with a free inspection. Rats and mice are covered by our General Pest Control program, and your technician recommends the best option for your home.

Find the way in

Removing rodents doesn’t last unless every entry is found and sealed. Common gaps are under sinks, around dryer vents and in foundation cracks. A roof rat needs only half an inch.

Inside, outside, underneath

The initial service covers inside the home, the perimeter and the crawl space if you have one. Bait products may be used inside, depending on the problem.

Quarterly maintenance

Most homes stay on a quarterly plan. A serious infestation gets monthly service for the first 3 to 6 months, then moves to quarterly.

Leaks and moisture draw rodents in. If your crawl space stays damp in our humid summers, ask about crawl space moisture control.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The water bugs have kept me from enjoying my backyard for years. This year I experienced them not only outside but inside as well. My anxiety was over the top. A friend of mine referred Cisco. I have never been more satisfied. His initial visit was in August 2026. Cisco is knowledgeable and very personable. He listened to my concerns and I believe he genuinely understood my fear. He simply said “Trust the process!” He was right. I’ve been water bug and bug free for months. October rolls around and I’ve seen 5 water bugs so far. They’ve been near death which means the product is still doing its job. My visits are scheduled for quarterly and you can best believe I’m counting down. As long as the product continues to work and Cicso is my tech, Clegg’s will have a customer for life.  Thank you.

Rodent control questions from Morehead City

Is it rats or mice?

Rats are about twice the size of mice, with bodies around 10 inches long. Mice have bodies around three inches long and ears that look large for their size. Rats are also the ones you tend to hear in the attic at night.

Why do rodents come inside in the fall on the Crystal Coast?

Food outside gets scarce and they look for warmth and shelter. Norway rats are excellent climbers and often move into homes in the fall.

Can I just use traps or store bought poison?

You may catch a few, but DIY methods rarely solve the problem long term. If every entry point is not sealed, rodents come back. The EPA rodenticide guide explains how these products are regulated and used safely.

Are rats and mice dangerous?

They can be. Rodents can carry diseases such as hantavirus, bring fleas, ticks and lice into the house, and chew through wiring, which can start fires.

Do you cover Beaufort, Atlantic Beach and Newport?

Yes. Our Morehead City office serves Morehead City, Beaufort, Atlantic Beach, Newport and the rest of Carteret County.
